Kevin was actually pretty nice here. This is obviously one of the worst pitches in dragons den history, and one of the worst ideas. Alot more mean stuff could have been said here.

2:02 - you may be able to build a house out of straw, however you're not normally driving combustible engines inside them! This is a huge liability disaster waiting to happen. Either a major fire, or the snow is too heavy for the straw roof, and there's an avalanche, and people are basically buried alive.

Honestly it's her own fault, a motocross straw castle/resort..... come on
Just blows my mind at some of the ideas people come up with and they actually think it'll work
I can just hear her after approaching some contractor with this: " I want to build a castle out of straw!!.....Zoning? What do you mean? What's that?.......... Electrical and plumbing? Can't you just run all that through straw!!! ..........I just want to build a castle out of straw!!!........ What do you mean by Safety and Building codes?...... I just want to build a castle out of straw........" LMAO

Dragons Den and Shark Tank are still reality shows. They’re still directed and scripted for entertainment. Honestly when you go on these shows, the main purpose is marketing rather than getting investment. Hell most of the investments done on camera fall apart when when actual negotiations start.

@@AlmightyDoge665 100% agree with you. I've seen so many episodes where the "investors" invest in a sob story but at the time of closing, it never comes to fruition. It was just done on camera to create a good image for the Dragon/Shark investing.
Does anyone want to invest in my indoor, leapfrog track made of hemp?
One has to love Mr. Kevin, real business men get to the bottom line in a rush and are straight forward.

One of the reasons I watch Dragon's Den and Shark Tank is to see other people's business ideas and how they are selling their product line. I discover how valuation is determined. And what it takes to secure a deal with a Dragon (or shark). I wonder if those who come on this show truly understands the working behind all of this. And I question how Dragon's Den even allowed an individual to appear on the show without provable sales. Yes, we all have dreams...and maybe this kind of episode helps others. I just find it sad to watch when something is obviously not going to attract an investor.

Dragon’s Den was more like a comedy show of bad ideas. Shark Tank is for actual businesses.
You might be able to build a house of straw, but I doubt it would have more than one level.

Damn Kevin is more ruthless on Dragons Den then he is on Shark Tank lol. Guess producers told him to be more blunt than cruel haha

As a farmer, straw is the residue from a harvested grain crop. It's not edible, and is usually used for fodder. This plan uses straw bales for a building material, but it is not ideal.
Why Norma? Why? Why?

What exactly is this woman going to do herself? Just ask the Sharks to pay for and build everything while she just owns it?
We have a whole fairy tale outlining why structures built of straw and other weak materials are a bad idea
All it takes is for a big bad wolf to huff and puff and blow the castle down!
All of us has had an idea that we think will make us millionaires at some point. Sane people realize how difficult this is

No, Kevin's term is it has to MAKE MONEY, not just built it. Else I am sure Cuban would happily do it. He said sometime he invests on Shark Tank not for money making but for the right reason and I am sure seeing Kevin eating straws like a cow is one of the right reasons.

PLEASE DON'T POST THE ORIGINAL AIR DATES!! Don't let the UK govern your dental care, Canadians.

There are countless bad ideas/pitches but were the pitchers haven't invested much money to make it worthwhile. If your idea is good but you don't put enough in yourself, why would a dragon invest in you than just do it themselves.
Respect to Kevin, she badly needed a reality check. The other dragons were cowardly.

dragons den Canada would always let a few nutty ones on to make entertaining tv , especially in their early years .
The concept is great. And will make millions look into it. Subscription for motoX riders for somewhere to ride is huge world wide.
Look into just the subscription per year in Australia to go ride on a track for motoX
A classic case of asking for 100% of the required capital and yet only offering 50% of the equity. The only the way there could be any fairness in that is if she draws no salary AND brings CAD 2m in sweat equity, which is clearly not the case. Valuing the company by reference to the money she needs (and how much equity she is willing to part with) rather than by what it’s worth.
May god be with you? 😬

I dont care, how do I make money
So unnecessarily rude.
This is cringeeeee
That was so rude how they walked out. Even if they don’t like the idea they should have respected the courage of the woman to present her idea to the dragons.
To be fair, she’s almost certainly mentally ill.
you think building a castle of straw is a small fit? try building it out ..... frozen semen
Kevin and Jim - Season Pros The others - Discount Dragons 😂
It may not actually be a bad business, but this woman would never succeed. She’s far too slow and has terrible presentation and communication skills.
